is there a vex function to sample the color from a texture map?

int prim
vector uv

xyzdist(1,@P,prim,uv);
//primuv()?
//how do i get the color from the uv coordinates?

use an "attribute from map" so you can have a Cd attribute from a texture. You do not need the uvquickshade btw

then in the wrangle

int primid;
vector uv;
float dist;
 
dist = xyzdist(1,@P, primid, uv);
 
v@Cd = primuv(1,'Cd',primid, uv);
